PSD Food Allergy Guide Book
PSD recognizes the needs of the growing number of PSD students with potentially life-threatening food allergies and harmful food intolerances. As public educators, PSD recognizes its responsibility to develop a safe environment for students with life-threatening food allergies.
The PSD Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Advisory Committee is a collaborative working group comprised of parents, nurses, and PSD administration in order to provide safety guidelines and practices for schools with students with allergies.

- The 504 Plan - The 504 Plan takes its name from Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, a federal law that prohibits schools that receive federal funding from excluding or otherwise discriminating against a student with a "disability" solely on the basis of that disability. This plan is created when the standard school policies and procedures do not meet the needs of the student. It outlines accommodations in the classroom and other locations or activities that achieve the goal of providing a safe educational environment. It details the roles and responsibilities of the school educators, parent and student.
